Position the table and workpiece (Fig. 23)
1.
Always place a piece of backup material (1) (wood,
plywood, etc.) on the table underneath the workpiece (2).
This will prevent splintering on the underside of the
workpiece as the drill bit breaks through.
OPERATION
3
2.
To keep the material from spinning out of control, it
must contact the left side (3) of the column as illustrated,
or be clamped (4; not included) to the table.
Note: For small workpieces that cannot be clamped to the
table, use a drill press vise (not included). The vise must
be clamped or bolted to the table to avoid injury.
GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES
AND THE BACKUP MATERIAL FROM SLIPPING
FROM YOUR HAND WHILE DRILLING, POSITION
WORKPIECE AND BACKUP MATERIAL TO THE LEFT
SIDE OF THE COLUMN. IF THE WORKPIECE AND THE
BACKUP MATERIAL ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO
REACH THE COLUMN, CLAMP WORKPIECE AND
BACKUP MATERIAL TO THE TABLE. FAILURE TO DO
THIS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
To drill a hole:
1.
Mark where you want to drill in workpiece by using a
centre punch or a sharp nail or turn ON Laser Line to mark
drilling point.
2.
Before turning ON the bench drill press, turn the feed
handles to bring the drill bit down. Line the drill bit tip up
with the mark. Clamp the workpiece in place.
3.
Turn ON the bench drill press and pull down on the
feed handles with appropriate force needed to allow the
drill bit to drill material. Note: FEEDING TOO SLOWLY
might cause the drill bit to turn in the chuck. FEEDING
TOO RAPIDLY might stop the motor, cause the belt to slip,
force the workpiece loose, or break the drill bit. Practice
with scrap material to get the feel of the machine before
attempting to do any drilling operation.
DRILLING SPEEDS
Important factors when determining the best drilling
speed:
•
Material type
•
Hole size
•
Drill bit or cutter type
•
Quality desired
Smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits.
